Jarrod is absolutely amazing! We had a unique request and situation (Im not going to go into details) but he agreed to help us out. We are VERY grateful for him and his service! We can now keep our Gunner Lee with us forever! Thank you!
10 out of 10 would 100% recommend❤️ Very responsive on an early Sunday morning. Jarrod was so accommodating and met me on a Sunday morning without hesitation. Very caring, compassionate and personable. Couldn’t ask for better customer service.
Jarrod is a great guy, hes very helpful and prices are very reasonable too. However thats besides the point, he is THE PERSON you would want to handle the passing of your pet. His personality shines. I also like all the various options you have from jewelry, to picture urns and other stylish options like wood printing, glass art, and even taxidermy options. I highly recommend his contemporary options and it supports local business as he branches out to other KC businesses.
I want to start by saying I would recommend Jarrod to anyone considering cremation of their beloved pet. I had a awkward request and he didnt hesitate onw bit to help me and my family. I do truly appreciate all he has done and my beloved pet. Will definitely use him in the future. Thank you again.
Highly recommend Jared and his services. When you consider your pets family, it’s invaluable to receive such a high level of understanding and empathy. His service was extremely reasonably priced and allowed us to focus on grieving as opposed to stressing over cost.Jared was super responsive over a holiday weekend to take care of our baby girl of 12 years and ensured the process was done to the highest standard/quality and tailored to our needs.Thanks, Jared. We will be forever grateful.
When you lose your friend all of a sudden on a weekend it’s hard to find a place that will guide you through the next step. I found Heartland Pet Aquamation because it was the only place open but it became the best alternative to traditional cremation that pollutes the earth. The price is on the same level as traditional and we still were able to order a paw print impression. The remains we received were almost as heavy as when our B was still around. I’ll get to spread him in his two favorite places and still have enough to carry a piece of him with me everywhere.
I highly recommend this place. They were so helpful and nice. My family dog TURK past and he met me the same day to get him cremated. There variety of urns was amazing you can even get necklaces and bracelet to have ashes put in. It was easy to order the urn and my daughter got a necklace with some of his ashes in it. They will get my business again. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT SERVICE.
Jarrod was exceptionally kind, caring, and understanding during the awful event of my doggo passing away. His process left me with very prestine ashes and its a greener option than traditional cremation. I encourage everyone to check out his services if youre in the same situation I was in.
The process of scheduling a drop-off for my sweet little chihuahua was so smooth and easy, especially when I was still in the midst of figuring out what time our vet was going to be able to come to our home to put her to sleep... Jarrod was patient and helpful throughout the entire process and was extremely quick in answering me which was so helpful during such a stressful time. HPAs website did a fantastic job of explaining what their process entails which made me feel comfortable going to them for the first time, and I felt especially better knowing the process is more eco-friendly. The pick-up went smoothly as well. I LOVE the small box that holds my dogs remains. I also loved being offered the pawprints so that I had something to go home with after dropping her off. It helped ease the pain of leaving her behind.I HIGHLY recommend utilizing Heartland Pet Aquamations services.
I had a pet who died unexpectedly in front of me and i panicked, i didnt know what to do. I thought it would be a good idea to put my pet in a giant flower pot and seal it with cement; that didnt work. Jared came over quickly after we called and hauled the heavy flower pot out of our house with no complaints. I really appreciated this, since it was a hard time for me. I would use this service again. Next time I know what to do and where to go. Thanks Jared!
Our very large Bloodhound passed just before the 4th of July holiday weekend. Jarrod at Heartland was not only accommodating to our after hours need, but also very kind and understanding. He took time to put us at ease and helped us to understand the process. Giving us the paw imprint was a nice touch - and it will be a cherished memento. We cannot recommend him high enough.
Jared was WONDERFUL.....he met my husband after hours last week after our 2yr dog passed unexpectedly. The compassion and care that he had for our family was top notch! He walked us through the process and helped us grieve for Marley while he took care of everything else. I am so glad we trusted Jared with Marley.....every part of the process put us at ease and we couldnt have asked for a better experience during our time of grief.
Very compassionate! I called and he answered right away. Answered all my questions. Not even 1 week later my baby girl was back home. Will definitely use again for my other fur babies.
I was so glad my daughter shared information about Heartland Pet Aquamation with me. I never knew there was another type of cremation, and I think this is a wonderful choice. Jarrod is wonderful when it comes to communicating and/or answering your questions. He was very kind and patient. He took our sweet dog, laid him on a soft bed, and allowed us to spend time with him. It was so heartbreaking to say good-bye to our beloved Corky, and I am so glad that I chose Jarrod and his wonderful service.
We could not be more grateful to Jarrod. We are so lucky that we found Jarrod. Toby passed away on the 4th of July and Jarrod was there to help us out. I can vouch for Jarrod that he will be the best that you will find to pay the final respects for your pet. He truly is a compassionate, empathetic soul. Thank you! I’m forever grateful to you and Heartland Pet Aquamation!
Great service. Came to my home to help handle everything. Very nice and understanding given the day I was having. I will be taking all of my pets here when the day inevitably comes.
Unfortunately, I’ve had to use Jared’s services twice in the past couple of months. He was kind, patient, and able to help with my furry family members immediately. I love that I had the option to use a more environmentally friendly option to preserve the memory of my pets at a price that was competitive with more traditional means of cremation. I would recommend this business to anyone!
I have taken 2 of my babies to Jared so far and he is INCREDIBLY caring. Not only is his business more environmentally friendly, you also get more of your pet back. He is very understanding and allows you to bring in your own urn/special container. Each time I have contacted him he has been able to take my pet immediately. He has a little pet bed they can rest on and he is very gentle and loving with them. Honestly he has helped me obtain a little more peace each time. It was easier for me know someone who actually cared was handling my babies. I very highly recommend for anyone suffering the loss of a fur/scaly family member.
I am a counselor and I have been working with a client under complex grief; in the midst of healing, the clients beloved pet was tragically killed. I contacted Heartland Pet Aquamation on behalf of the client and spoke with Jarrod regarding his services. Within an hour of my call to Jarrod, the clients deceased pet was retrieved for Aquamation, paw memorials were constructed immediately, and delivered to the client that day. I was so impressed with Jarrod and his response to my clients crisis. His sensitivity toward my client, along with his immediate and clear communication was simply stellar. I also appreciated that fact that Jarod was willing to work with me on behalf of my client, which allowed my client one less thing to worry about in the midst of crisis. I highly recommend Heartland Pet Aquamation and I would give Jarod 10 stars if I could.
I would recommend this place to anyone. The owner is so nice and respectful. He took the time just to talk to us and not rush into the money part. Like a lot of places do. I hope no one has to go through losing a pet but if you do use Heartland your pet will be taken of.
My cat of 17 years passed away we called and were able to get her taken care of I would definitely take any of my fur babies here he was so kind and caring of her that it put me at ease immediately he took great care in treating her with care and compassion you could not ask for more for your babies
Words can not even begin to describe how thankful I am that a place like this exists at all, let alone in my hometown. As a 3rd generation funeral industry worker, I have read several books related to the subject of care of a decedent. Stiff by Mary Roach was the first place I ever heard about the aquamation process. As a science, medical, and death industry nerd, I really liked the idea of a safe, gentle, green way of body disposition that provided the family with the cremains as a keepsake. My sweet Daisy got really sick and her time on this earth was drawing to an end. We couldnt afford to have her cremated (thanks to job loss) and thought burying her in the backyard was our only option, which for me only added insult to injury. Knowing this isnt my forever home, I couldnt bear to do that. My mom said she would cover cremation costs, so I did my research. Using Heartland Aquamation was an absolute no brainer once I found them. Its the best value for the money being spent, while the price point is very competitive for *similar-ish* services in the area, and a far better process all around for all involved and the environment. The extras offered and speaking to Jerrod on the phone, it was very obvious my Daisy baby would be respected, loved, and cared for during her time there. I cant recommend Jerrod or his services more. We have another dog who is 15 and this process has eased my fears for when his time comes. Jerrod, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking great care of my family and for doing what you do, you have been an answer to prayer and a huge comfort during this incredibly difficult time. God bless you ❤
If I could give 10 stars I would! Jarrod was so compassionate and was able to come pick up our Bentley within an hour. I 100% recommend Heartland pet aquamation!
Outstanding, compassionate service. Our beloved kitty died last week, and we brought him to Heartland Pet Aquamation for a greener alternative to traditional cremation. Jerrod, the owner, was professional, kind, and considerate. He took our cat’s paw prints and locks of hair while we were in his presence, so we witnessed they came from our kitty. He placed an identifying tag with our cat to assure chain of custody. The tag was attached to the cremains when we received them in a beautiful urn. Heartland has a choice selection of urns and other memorials through which to honor your family member. The whole process allowed us to respectfully say goodbye to our beloved companion, yet keep him with us. Jerrod was friendly, compassionate, and helpful throughout. We highly recommend Heartland Pet Aquamation.
Recommend to anyone who has lost a pet jarrod is a very trustworthy and extremely kind person thank you very much for your service 🙏
If I could, I’d give these guys 10 stars, I really appreciate knowing that we were leaving our family member to their care and treated our dog as if he was their own.Thank you!
Would highly recommend this service. Not only was it an eco-friendly and affordable alternative to regular cremation services, the owner was extremely friendly, patient, and informative.
Jarrod was very understandable I love how he worked with my family to get my baby in a better place . He was very polite and respectful also very caring for the situation. I will recommend his service to anyone that needs it.
Jared was very kind and thoughtful when he was helping me through the sudden loss of my dog. When he passed I wasnt quite sure where to go or what to do. Im so glad I found this service. Being downtown his location is also super convenient.
This place is amazing we had two pets die in one day and the guy that owns the place was willing to help us anytime of day it was 11 at night and he helped us, he really cares about your pets and his very thoughtful I highly recommend this place it’s absolutely amazing and it really makes you feel better about who’s hands your pets in
Was a very pleasant experience. Not a whole lot of trying to sell you things just very simple and straightforward and very caring with your pet. Would definitely use the services again if I had to, but hopefully not for a very long time.
Treated our bearded dragon with respect, and was very gentle. Would definitely recommend Aquamation to other people who’ve lost their pets.
Jarrod called me first thing after my dog passed away at 4am. He was on it immediately, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs while also showing great empathy and kindness.
May I say how heartbreaking it was losing a pet. Jarrod was wonderful. I was able to bring my baby in on a Sunday afternoon. He was very sincere and made me feel at ease leaving our baby with him. I like the alternative method he has available for pet cremation. I definitely recommend using this alternative method, Jarrod and Heartland if you need to make arrangements for your fur-babies. I will definitely use his services in the future, although I hope it wont be for a very long time. Thank you for everything that you did. :) ♥
Im so very thankful for Jarrod for providing this option in KC. When I knew I was losing my cat I looked around for end-of-life options available. Having such a green option means a lot to me. His pricing is right on par with other options in the community. Jarrod went above and beyond for us by answering the phone before regular business hours and then setting an evening appointment to accommodate our schedule. He was gentle, kind, and patient with us and our cat. He has provided some light on this very dark time for us. Thank you again, Jarrod.
I don’t know to say but the experience wasPerfect Jarrod thank you so much I appreciate you coming to pick up my baby boy and even offer to drop is ashes back off to me when you was done
Very good service and they communicated well! Got three really pretty wooden boxes to divi up between our family. Just know parking is around back
Ok i called 430pm and Jarrod was here by 7 he was very respectful caring and made the process as easy as possible. Thank u so much and rip miss bentley sue !😥
We are extremely pleased with HPA as they were so kind and professional when dealing with the final details of our beloved cats sudden death. Jarrod was very thorough with explaining the process in as much detail as we wished and lent a sympathetic ear as an excellent funeral director should do. He doesnt offer funerals at this time, but does have several urn options, paw print photo cases, and crematory jewelry for sale. The entire service was really affordable and his communication was always spot on always ready and willing to help. He is also taking the pandemic very seriously and following all protocols necessary to help keep everyone safe. We will definitely do business here again in the future, but hopefully not for a very long time.
I took my sweet dog to Aquamation for cremation after she passed. The owner of Aquamation was very kind, compassionate, and respectful to her body and to me as a grieving person while handling her.
My friend’s dog passed away on an early Monday morning. Jared picked up the phone at 5:00am and was nice enough to accommodate us within the hour. He couldn’t have been nicer, more gracious or more helpful. Thank you Jared.
Absolutely amazing I was devastated when my cat died. I came across this place and it was the best experience ever thanks to them my Grey baby will forever be with me and my daughters
I would like to thank Jerrod for making such a heartbreaking event in our familys lives, bearable. He was so accommodating and understanding. Even though it was on a Sunday he took time away from his family to meet us and get our Tank taken care of, he then took his time to make sure we understood the process and answered all our questions. We truly appreciate all you did for Tank and our family - so that we felt that our precious handsome man was in loving caring hands. Which was not an easy task considering he was a healthy sized Rotti! The benefits of this whole process was better for the environment and our family. We have one more person to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!
Jarrod was extremely kind and understanding throughout the whole process of the Aquamation of our sugar glazier, Azazel. He even went as far as to buy miniature urns so we would have the option for a more fitting size for him.We’ll definitely return for our other animals to be aquamated here- hopefully not soon- but we will return.Thank you to Jarrod for being respectful and gentle. Blessed be.
Our Great Dane puppy passed unexpectedly on a Sunday afternoon. Jared met us out at his location and helped us carry our 150lb baby into his facility. He was incredibly gentle and loving with our sweet boy. Jared walked us through his process and allowed us time to grieve and say goodbye. He was incredibly patient and kind, and very sensitive towards us. I genuinely appreciate him and his help. A bright spot on such a rough day.
Jarrod was very comforting and courteous. The process was of course heartbreaking but I felt secure in my choice with the way Jarrod handled my Odin. Thank you for being the easiest part of the process of losing a pet.
I took my kitty of almost 18 years to Jarrod at Heartland Pet Aquamation. It was extremely hard losing my baby but Jarrod made this experience a little less painful by his kindness and caring. He also met us after business hours which was very appreciated! Thank you very much!
We had to contact this business at one of our darkest times. I contacted him via Facebook. He was extremely quick to respond. He made me feel like I wasnt a bother to him. He guided me as how to take care of our pet until I could get to him. He met us after 8pm on a Sunday evening! No one in the pet cremation business does this. We are so extremely grateful on how he took care of our pet. When we do have to contact him again, you best believe this is where we are going! Thank you for taking care of us!
I traveled from Minneapolis to aqua-cremate my sweet pit bull, and I’m so glad that I did. I tried to raise her as organically and holistically as possible, and Heartland Pet Aquamation was the perfect fit for this final step in saying goodbye. I took comfort in that it is a gentler process for my dog while also not contributing toxins to the environment that traditional cremation does. But what I loved most was that I was able to pick her up so quickly. In the past, I have had to wait a week or more for my dogs’ ashes and that was torture. The fact that my dogs were being burned was torture. This experience was the exact opposite - it was peaceful and gentle and I felt good about the process. Thank you for that!
Jarrod Hammond, owner and operator at Heartland Pet Aquamation was amazing to work with when we decided to use aquamation cremation for Emmy. He was so helpful in explaining the process. He made us feel at ease and helped us special order Emmy’s urn. He was patient and answered all of our questions with kindness and compassion. He’s available 24 hours a day. Our sweet Emmy passed away before 8 AM on Saturday morning. We called him at 8:30, and he was available to meet with us that very morning.His website was easy to find. It came up in my search for pet cremation near me. He has very detailed information about the process on his website. I love so many things about what he offers. He has urns available to see in person at his shop. He offers individual aquamation, which was very important to us. It is a more “green” and natural process that cremation by fire. Jarrod gave us a lock of Emmy’s fur, and for a very small additional cost, he gave us an impression of her paws in a case that holds a picture.His prices are affordable, and his service is incredible. If you’re considering cremation for your fur babies, I strongly encourage you to use Heartland Pet Aquamation. Thank you, Jarrod, for all you did to help us through this part of the process of losing Emmy.
Their 24 hr availability was huge for us. Our beloved dog passed away quietly at home at 9pm. Within 1 hr I was able to take her They were very kind and professional. The paw print memorial kit was a nice touch as well.
Fantastic, empathetic and professional. After suffering the loss of my American Bully after 16 years together, me and my deceased best friend were both treated with the upmost respect and compassion; even meeting with me at 7:30 on a Saturday evening to provide services, going way above and beyond the level of service others in the industry provide.
Prompt service with genuine compassion at a reasonable price. I will never go anywhere else when I need this type of service
Had an amazing experience with my mom in laws cat, he was very respectful and patient and really respected our lovely cat and handled with care. I highly recommend coming here!
My daughter took her baby Great Dane 11/2 to him on a Sunday. He helped her so much with the whole process. Wouldn’t go any where else. Thank you so much for your kindness!
The man was awesome my dog died in the middle of the night he took her out of my car and was incredibly sweet
Very thoughtful business. Highly recommend their services.
Besides Aquamation being more eco-friendly and less costly than regular cremation, the owner, Jared, is a great human being. I’m hoping more people will utilize this service. I know that my kitty Puff is in the best hands.
We had the unfortunate heart ache of losing our beloved Siberian Husky, Nuka. We could bare the thought of her burning in flames and looked into alternatives. We found Jarred! We are so grateful to him for all his compassion and assistance in this time of grief. Jarred treated our dear girl as if she were his. We will continue to go to him for all of our future pet aquamations. Thank you Jarred, for being so kind and caring during our difficult time.
Jared was so kind during this tough time in my life. I had wanted this over cremation for my best little buddy, and was so glad that he opened this business here in this area.
Super helpful and caring.
